The Moxie Girls Summer Cocktail Contest!

Joelle said in the early morning on May 15, 2008

Well, we’ve finally done it!  We finally got around to relaunching our website. This design was in the works for a long time, but we just never had a spare moment. While we loved our Air Moxie Girls in aqua and pink, it was time for something a little different.  We’ll also be launching two more sites this year that will be full our usual bold color choices, so don’t fret if you’re missing our other colors.

When we initially designed this, it was when the trend was in the throes of the “horizontal, web 2.0, let’s make everything really big and use charcoal gray a lot” phase.  We decided we didn’t want that, but did want to bring a slightly more sophisticated look, hence the yummy chocolate plum-ish color.  We call this Moxie-a-Go-Go and we’re having some fun with it.  You can read more about our new site on our blog, which now is open for comments.

What I wanted to tell you about is our Summer Cocktail Contest.  It’s not really a contest, per se. It’s more of a drawing, but there are prizes to be had, regardless.  You can read all about it here on our blog, but here’s the scoop:

Grand Prize Winner will receive:

• A Cosmo Caddy, which includes a cocktail shaker, 4 cosmo glasses and a retro-esque carrier valued at $55.00 courtesy of LiquidPlanet.com
• A signed copy of The IT Girls Guide to Blogging with Moxie!
• A tube of Jaqua Hand Creme (flavor may vary!)

Two Runners-Up Winners will receive:

• A signed copy of The IT Girls Guide to Blogging with Moxie!
• A tube of Jaqua Hand Creme (flavor may vary!)

Here’s how to enter:

• Send us your favorite Summer cocktail recipe… your tried-and-true, your awesome party punch, your blended fruit favorites… whatever!  Send us your favorite Summer-themed cocktail recipes.  Drink recipes must include at least three (3) main ingredients (Garnish doesn’t count!  No rum and coke with limes you sneaks!) For extra credit, include a recipe for a “pairing”, or a tasty snack to go with your cocktail.  You can get even *more* extra credit by posting your entry on your blog and sending us the link.

• One entry per person.  You can get an extra entry into the contest if you include the aforementioned “pairing” or snack idea.  Like a 2-fer!  Make it a 3-fer by posting your recipe on your blog and linking back to our entry here. If you blog it, be sure to include the link to your entry in your submission so we know to give you an extra chance.  That’s up to three chances to win!  Winners will be drawn at random.

The winner(s) will receive full credit in our blog postings and mad kudos for their win, but any and all submissions become property of The Moxie Girls™ and we reserve the right to reprint, rename, or modify original recipes at our discretion for future use.  Trademarked and/or copywritten recipes submitted must contain the source of the recipe in order for it to be considered. Multiple entries, or entries missing information will be disqualified so make sure you include your recipe, name and address!

Contest will end at midnight EST June 6, 2008, so please have all entries in by then and we’ll announce the winners on our blog on Monday, June 9, 2008.

So there you have it!  We hope you’ll submit your ideas. And tell a friend, maybe they’ll want to get in on it, too!
